You mean: "Before I hang up, I confirm there's a real person who answers this phone, and it's a live number to sell to other scammers."

....most posts are about privacy, but here's a few that make my life enjoyable in Chrome that aren't privacy related.

General items:

Fireshot - sort of a snipping tool for webpages.
OneTab - a good tab saver and restorer.
Context Menu Search - adds configurable context searchers (IDMB, Wiki, Magic Cards, whatever)
Visualping - takes snapshots of webpages, checks them for changes.

Fun items:

Destiny Item Manager - for, well, Destiny item management.
F.B. Purity - cleans unwanted items from Facebook, since it's an evil I must tolerate.
Reddit Enhancement Suite - vastly improves Reddit.

A Leaf will not hit 100 easily, short of freefall.

It's speed limited to IIRC 93mph, which is simple factor of the electric motor's top limited RPM and the size of the tires. [I actually believe it's actually 90, with the typical speedo adjustment for liability purposes.] Math says 90ish. Nissan says 90's. One guy on a Dyno said 97. Reverse is electronically limited to 25 :)

Here's the details:

On level ground, about 94mph indicated.

The motor is turning about 10,300 RPM divided by a 7.8 reduction gear box is 1320 RPM of the wheels, which are about 23 inches in diameter.

23 * pi = 72.25 inches multiplied by 1320 = 95,378 inches per minute multiplied by 60 minutes equals 5,722,720 inches per mile divided by 12 equals 476,893 feet per hour divided by 5280 equals 90.3 miles per hour ground speed, which is about 92-93 indicated speed.

Too much rounding. The gear ratio is actual above 7.8, but I don't remember off the top of my head and the tire may be slightly larger. Motor speed is slightly above 10,300 RPM also.

Like the poster below, we get 70+ as well, and that's a lot of inefficient speedy freeway driving.

Stop and go driving is actually pretty efficient. High speed is the battery killer.

There's 21 million daily users...even a tiny percentage of them sometimes spending money adds up quickly.

Being a police officer is a fairly safe profession. Most of their 13 deaths per 100,000 are traffic related, and only because they drive a lot.

Commercial fisherman wins every time at 200 per 100,000 (one in 500!), but much more mundane things like roofer 34/100,000 and sanitation worker 25/100,000 are loads higher than police officer. Truck drivers die on the job about 50% more than police do, but that's because (again) driving is dangerous. Heck, even LANDSCAPERS! have a higher rate of death on the job at 15 per.

I use Keep because mostly my notes are scrapbook things.

Anything more than a cut-and-paste and it goes into Collabtive or Basecamp.

My QNAP can transcode just fine, but very few of my viewing devices require it.

While this may fit the slashvertisement template, Plex (as nearly anyone who has used it will tell you) is pretty slick software and well supported by a TON of devices. This is a fucking cool device.

Nerds can go build their own media server for cheap, and I'll keep running my Plex server on a QNAP (a device true nerds can complain I should have just built in freeNAS), but for some guy who wants to serve media to his new TV, this device is a winner.

Correct. It also includes your debt.

Plenty of people (and companies), homeless or otherwise, have a less-than-zero net worth.

...until Earny-BestBuy starts tracking them, automatically requesting thousands of refunds every day, and then gets Best Buy to change their policies as well.

Earny, by automating it (and siphoning off a percentage), spoiled it for the rest of us.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Fox could easily air material owned by them produced well before the date of a YouTube video - something they purchased from the archives or another company, or featuring music recorded decades ago - thus rendering simple date checking useless.

Because your gamertag is how you appear in most online cooperative/competitive games, and how you communicate with others on the platform.

Some of us prefer a nice, clean tag, and don't want to be XxlDankM33ms42069lxX.

Obviously the "good" gamertags went early, and a lot of them have been sitting stale for a while.

...and while McParseface is at it, he can chew on:

"Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?"
